TL;DR: The BEaTriX project as mentioned in this paper is a laboratory-based X-ray source, which is designed to generate a broad (170 mm x 60 mm), uniform, and collimated Xray beam, with a residual divergence of 1.5 arcsec HEW at either 1.49 keV and 4.51 keV.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the temperature of the X-ray Telescope CCD is correlated with the average elevation of the Earth above the XRT radiator, which is in turn related to the targets that Swift observes in an orbit.

The New Hard X-ray Mission
G. Tagliaferri,G. Pareschi,A. Argan,R. Bellazzini,Osvaldo Catalano,Enrico Costa,G. Cusumano,Fabrizio Fiore,Carlo Fiorini,Giuseppe Malaguti,Giorgio Matt,Sandro Mereghetti,Giuseppina Micela,G. C. Perola,Gabriele E. Villa +14 more
TL;DR: The Italian New Hard X-ray Mission (NHXM) as discussed by the authors was designed to provide a real breakthrough on a number of hot astrophysical issues that includes: black holes census, the physics of accretion, the particle acceleration mechanisms, the effects of radiative transfer in highly magnetized plasmas and strong gravitational fields.
